La Femme Nikita
A condemned murderess is given a second chance as a covert government assassin, forcing her to master lethal skills while battling the deadly clash between her violent assignments and the fragile normalcy she desperately clings to.
“She murders. So she can live.”

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
